I'm in a similar situation (mom is mixed and looks brown, I take after my white dad) and what works for me is just saying I'm white but staying connected to my mom's dad's mom's culture

aaaaaaa my brown side was so racist too 😭 like they would never acknowledge they're native unless they were taking us to the rez, but it's like it's not an identity they let my mom or her dad take home
